It's very rare that our blogs are in any way trumpet blowing, but this is something we are all really pleased about and, we think, well worth a mention on Taxtalk.

As one of the Surrey area's leading local accountants and business software specialists, Robert James Partnership has been selected as a Platinum Partner for the Sage 50 suite by business software and services provider Sage UK.
